Hot Meeniyan
MEENIYAN was alive on Saturday with the sights and sounds of the annual Meeniyan on Fire festival.
People flocked from all over the district to the town and to enjoy the fine weather.
A choir and band added colour to the main street, which was lined with all manner of food, plant and craft stalls.
President of the Meeniyan Tourism and Traders Association, Marty Thomas, called the festival a great success.
“It was fantastic and we were so lucky to have good weather four years in a row,” he said.
Mr Thomas said the decision to extend the festival along the main street worked well.
“We have the festival to bring the community together, to get people out and about at a time when there is not a lot else happening,” he said.
And in a great compliment to the people of the area, the potato twist stall holder said she noticed how polite children were.
